Tracksuit bottoms are comfortable and easy to wear, but in order for them to look good, it's important that you choose the right size and style.

How do you choose the right size bottom?

Getting the right fit for your tracksuit bottom is important, so you’ll need to take measurements. First, stand with your feet together. Using a tape measure, measure around the fullest point of the hip while keeping the tape measure horizontal. Next, measure the inseam by measuring from the bottom of your leg to your crotch. After you have your measurements, look at the specs on the manufacturer's website for the bottoms that you're interested in. If you fall in between two sizes, it will all boil down to how you want the track suit to fit. If you want a loose fit, a larger size may be what you need. If you'd like a more fitted silhouette, the smaller size may be preferable.

When purchasing new or pre-owned men's tracksuit bottoms from eBay, you want to ensure that they fit loose around the crotch area and the thighs. It's important that you have an easy fit in the pelvic area. You’ll want the sweatpants to hang in a way that you don't see the pocket lining. They should also taper through the legs.

What men's tracksuit bottoms work for wet weather?

If you're going to be wearing a tracksuit in cold, wet weather, you need to choose fabric options that are built for the weather. Fleece joggers are an excellent choice for anyone wanting to keep warm when the temperature dips. You should also look into tracksuit bottoms that have moisture-wicking capabilities that will help keep you dry when you sweat, preventing chills.
